TOT 16,980

Striking as with the last point release is the flat curves for both versions after the initial spike (pae below).

That server monitors changes to the MX section of the antiX site on SourceForge, updates its own files with any changes, and can trigger automatically downstream servers to update their files, or simply rely on those downstream servers to poll the rsync server for changes.

This work was carried out by the MX Dev Team, using coding from a volunteer outside the MX Linux community.

The University of Crete is now using our server for MX updates, and we would like to add others--especially ones located in parts of the world where we have users but no regional server. Please PM me if interested and able.

When that is done, then PM me and we will get you access to the site for Russian translation. We would like the mx-minstall to be finished first (currently at 20%), so if you can work your way through that we would be really grateful.

I've looked on Mozilla's website and they advise to go to View Page Info by right clicking and thengo to the permission tab and check off allow. Seems to be a long drawn out process each time you start Firefox.

....One thing I have noticed is some of my tablets will connect like a usb device and my 10" Proscan will not. But the Proscan will connect by mtp, ptp, and ftp. I am thinking it might have to do with the versions of Android on the different tablets--they all run 4.1 or newer, or maybe I need to tweak some setting to allow direct usb access.

I connect via mtp using gMTP.

Microsoft holds some patents related to the FAT file system. Some phone manufacturers pay the royalties or sign cross-licensing patent deals (or perhaps they agree to also make a minimum number of Windows phones), like Samsung, HTC. For these, you have "normal" USB plug and play functionality. And these phones often have removable SD cards, because SD cards tend to be formatted with the FAT file system.

Google Nexus devices don't use FAT and don't have SD card slots because Google isn't going to pay MS any money for the patent. So they need mtp / ptp , which I've found don't work that well in Linux (and I install every mtp and fuse - related package that might possibly be relevant). MTP works well in Windows, from what I can see.

Wi Fi file transfer would most likely require both devises be connected through the wi fi network. However, my Desktop is wired in. That one is probably out. Will take a look at es file explorer.

@Dieselrider,

I use the FTP server functionality in the app "File Expert" with Filezilla on my PC to do fast transfer of mutiple files from phone to my hard drive or vice versa. Usually it's backing up or transferring photos and videos taken with my phone to my storage drive, but it's very helpful the other way round, too, e.g. when I got my Nexus 7 tablet and wanted to dump a whole lot of mp3s and movies from my external storage drive to the new tablet.

This will require your computer and phone to be on the same local area network, but the computer could be connected via Ethernet instead of wirelessly.

I assume any Android file explorer app with FTP server capability will do.
